Therapists in Carrboro, NC

I help clients identify a source of wisdom and wellness within themselves. I share warmth, honest human connection, and my own experiential understanding of the mind from two decades of meditation practice. Anyone who is looking for a path out of suffering is welcome.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NC. I collaborate with clients to develop creative solutions to problems and shift difficult emotions. I work with people from different backgrounds and with a variety of life experiences. I believe people are creative, unique and resilient and what we often require is the space and opportunity to explore and reflect upon what we already know. I work with adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-esteem issues, grief, family conflict, struggles with independence/dependency, changes in living situation, chronic health issues.

You may be making sense of trauma, grief, anxiety-depression, a loved-ones' addiction, chronic illness, infidelity, or relationships. You and your partner may hope to care for your relationship by accessing strengths, managing conflict, and growing connection. You may be parenting a newborn, an adolescent, or a young adult and struggling to discern your role as new developmental needs and stages come and go. You may be a workplace leader experiencing low investment, mistrust, or miscommunication within groups or teams. If any of these areas of growth and discovery match your own, let's talk.

Reset and rediscover yourself and your relationships with therapy. Life can be a struggle, and it's easy to feel aimless and unfulfilled despite achieving what society considers success. But there is hope. By challenging yourself and seeking personal growth, you can transform your life, relationships, and perspective on your world. Therapy can be a powerful tool on this journey, whether you're an individual seeking self-discovery or a couple looking to improve your relationship. If this sounds like you, it's time to make a change.

I am a licensed professional counselor practicing in Orange County, North Carolina.

My goal is to empower each one of my client's by creating a non-judgmental therapeutic environment that respects their dignity and self-worth.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted constantly? Isolated and alone because you don’t want to burden your friends or family with your problems? Or maybe you don’t know quite how to name why you feel this way or how to talk about it. Here is the good news - therapy is the place to explore the challenging thoughts and feelings you're having. I’ve worked in the mental health field since 2016, helping people of all ages, backgrounds, and challenges. I approach mental health challenges with a holistic mindset to help identify what we can change, inside of our control, and to increase resilience.

I believe understanding how my client perceives the world is essential to successful treatment. For 25 years I have helped a multitude of individuals and family groupings to find peace, resolution and happiness in many areas of their lives. I am a dedicated therapist who is present in the session and highly committed to honoring and respecting the individuals who have allowed me to work with them. I draw inspiration from Pema Chodron, Virginia Satir and Esther Perel.

I have worked as a social worker for over 25 years and feel most rewarded in assisting those struggling to identify how life holds each of us back, locating the courage to confront barriers to living our best life and managing life transitions. I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma (and in particular adults who have experienced childhood trauma), anxiety disorders, depression and self harm behaviors. I work with mid-life individuals who are learning to navigate stressors particular to the "third act" of life while sustaining a balanced and meaningful life.

Finding the right therapist is an important first step in working toward your personal goals. To help determine if I am the right fit for a client, I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation. In my practice, I create an environment that is safe and non-judgmental. Every person is different and I offer an individualized treatment approach that best addresses each person's unique needs and overall goals. I work with young adults, adults and older adults, and I specialize in helping individuals who are dealing with stress, relationship issues, difficult life transitions, anger, anxiety, depression and chronic health issues.

We all need space for support, exploration, and growth. Therapy can be that space. I am a licensed psychologist with an approach to therapy that is collaborative and strength-based. My intent is to meet you where you are and to work on the changes you most value. All people have the ability to grow and together we can find a way to reach your goals. I know that to do this work, we need a strong therapist-client relationship built on trust and authenticity. I integrate various theoretical approaches including humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and multicultural perspectives.

I work with people who are living with stroke, traumatic brain injury, dementia, and related diseases/disorders as well as their families and caregivers. I provide integrative rehabilitation counseling for people with acquired communication disorders such as aphasia, apraxia, and dysarthria.

Everyone experiences times when life is a struggle. You may be wrestling with difficulties in your family or personal relationships, your own or your loved one’s health, your work or school life, or old hurts you are weary of carrying alone. Even in the most trying times, you have strengths to draw upon. I welcome the opportunity to provide an ‘open space’ for you to share your unique story without judgement, recognize unhelpful patterns, build healthier coping skills, and set goals to help you move toward greater fulfillment.

Incorporating warmth and humor to create a safe, comfortable therapeutic space, I will partner with you to address your mental health symptoms until you feel back in control of your mood, your thoughts, and your life. I work across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and families. My expertise includes trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavior management, family conflict, life transitions, and relationship issues through a predominantly Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) approach. As a queer cis female, I especially enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community.

Therapy at its best is a unique collaboration between therapist and client. I offer my education, training and experience along with an open mind and attuned communication to assist my clients' in exploring the issues they bring to therapy. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in working with adults, couples, adolescents and families working on interpersonal and intra-personal issues. I am committed to nurturing my client's personal growth and development towards achieving a deeper sense of self knowing and the ability to live an integrated, emotionally regulated and balanced life.

If you’re reading this, you're probably considering the vulnerable, messy, beautiful, healing work of therapy. You may also be: feeling “stuck” and uncertain of what’s next, high-achieving and grappling with a harsh inner critic, finding that how you've been coping isn’t working anymore, feeling out of sync with your values or how you want to live your life, wanting to know yourself better in your next stage of life, feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, feeling unheard or seeking deeper connection in your relationships. Maybe you're a college student or LGBTQ+ person wanting to process the varied challenges and pleasures of life.

I want to support you in healing in the deepest possible way. This has led me to explore the very roots of suffering, from the perspective of the ancient sages and from the perspective of modern trauma therapy. I support my people in experiencing the reality that exists beyond the bounds of the conditioned mind. I wield the wisdom of the body to facilitate deep transformation. I weave a nuanced understanding of the particular challenges modern minds face into what I offer to support my people in safely opening more and more fully to the freedom, love, and deep internal well-being available to us when we connect to who we truly are.

I’m passionate about working with adults of all ages who are chronically ill, and adults in their 20s & 30s having difficulty navigating the many challenges of adulthood. People of all ages with chronic illness find themselves desperately searching for a way to be comfortable in their bodies & minds. To live a life they actually want, despite all they're coping with. And many adults in their 20s & 30s reach a point where they ask themselves, "Is adulthood (or relationships, or work) this hard for everyone, or is something wrong with me?" They thought they'd have it all figured out by now, but just aren't happy with where they're at.

Currently accepting new clients for January 2023. Potential new clients can schedule a free 15-minute consultation online via my website, leave me a voice message, or email me to connect. I enjoy working with adults, teens and children needing support with loss, adjustment, anxiety, or trauma.

Not accepting new clients (09/27/23). I am an energetic and motivated therapist ready to help you collaboratively create a clear plan toward fulfillment in all areas of life. My style is warm and supportive, direct and collaborative. It’s my purpose to guide a client through the eye-opening journey of self-discovery. 15+ years of experience has led to a practice that is strengths-based and solution-focused. I believe in meeting everyone where they are at, right now in life: to build existing strengths and develop connections between thoughts and behaviors.
